Abstract: We echo this message and urge researchers to acknowledge the importance of AM fungal diversity, and to incorporate the community ecology of AM fungi in efforts to understand how AM symbiosis governs plant defence against herbivory.

Here, there is regulation of plant defence-associated phytohormones where the development of mycorrhiza-induced resistance occurs over four phases as the fungi colonize their host plant and an arbuscular mycorrhiza is formed (see model proposed by Cameron I et al i ., 2013). Other studies have also shown that species-specific associations with AM fungi can drive plant tolerance to herbivory (Kula I et al i ., 2005), and that AM fungal abundance can increase tolerance capacity (Tao I et al i ., 2016). The symbiosis between arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, subphylum Glomeromycotina, and terrestrial plants is one of the most widespread and arguably most successful plant symbioses on Earth.
